Auto High-beam

[Kremmen]

How does the auto high beam fare with oncoming cyclists with small LED's, do they get blinded   

[Jazzik]

My experience is that a cyclist with adequate (LED) lighting will not be dazzled. Our Jazz responds to good bicycle lighting (not a small candle flame), just like street lighting, etc., with dipping.
As said before: I think the auto high beam works perfectly. So far I haven't had to manually correct once.

How about pedestrians,  as a courtesy I will dip for pedestrians..... How about vehicles in side turnings........ Humans are so much better than this pseudo automation,

[Lord Voltermore]

Cyclists,pedestrians etc are some of the reasons I still think dipping should be done by the driver  even if auto high beam is  there as a back up.

But drivers are not as considerate as they were in other areas.  I recently got soaked walking to the doctors for my covid booster.  Few, if any ,drivers tried to avoid driving through large puddles.

Why lfashl your lights - its not q good thing to do - other drivers DONT know what your thinking - nor you know what they are thinking it means - so avoid.

Qeh?
This isn't done in the face of on coming traffic as such, they are talking about the auto high beam feature and manually
cancelling it by a flash of the lights.

Did you know that is actually illegal?  I've never heard of anyone being prosecuted though.

As a trivia, it is also illegal for any vehicle, other than a postal vehicle, to drive over fire hoses.  Dates back to the first postal service days when the Royal Mail took precedence over everything and it has never been repealed to my knowledge.

I think it can be prosecuted as 'careless and inconsiderate driving. ' (You've created a crime wave    )  And back on topic, you can also  be prosecuted under the same law for not dipping your headlights. I doubt auto high beam would be accepted as a defence.

Your 'crime wave' comment made me laugh.  As for defence, I don't think any autonomous gadgets would stand up in court.  It is the driver who is always responsible.

[Lord Voltermore]

Yes. Highway code rule 150 , Driver is still responsible if you use driver assistance systems.

Only flashing for short time to confirm road clear of potholes for instance then with no one in sight to reset autobeam
